"Director Zhang, I wonder what your plans are for the future?" Jiang Zhiqiang thought about how Zhang Qiurui's first film won the Cannes Best Director Award and Best Supporting Actress Award, which shows her talent and potential in directing.
But since she was born in the mainland, Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
Jiang Zhiqiang knew that the mainland was suffering during that period and that supplies were said to be scarce. He felt that Zhang Qiurui's talent was wasted by staying in the mainland.
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?" Zhang Qiurui didn't know what she was thinking about. She glanced at Jiang Zhiqiang with a slight flash in her eyes and asked.
"Director Zhang, have you ever thought about changing the place of development?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked tentatively.
"Mr. Jiang, are you planning to invite me to Hong Kong? As far as I know, the Anle Film Company founded by Mr. Jiang is only responsible for film distribution.
"We don't have contracted directors or actors, and we don't have the behind-the-scenes staff or equipment to film movies." Zhang Qiurui had clearly seen through Jiang Zhiqiang's intentions, and she got straight to the point.
"Director Zhang is right, but the Hong Kong entertainment industry is prosperous. Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, TVB, and ATV can produce more than a dozen films and TV series every year. We at Edko Films don't have the conditions. I can recommend Director Zhang to other film and television companies.
With Director Zhang's talent and ability, he will definitely be warmly welcomed by major film and television companies.
"Furthermore, Hong Kong, as Asia's entertainment hub, offers a broader market and resources, which will undoubtedly be a huge boost to Director Zhang's career," Jiang Zhiqiang said sincerely, his eyes filled with recognition and expectation for Zhang Qiurui's talent.
"If I go to Hong Kong, I wonder which film company Mr. Jiang would recommend me to?" Zhang Qiurui asked with an idea in mind.
"Golden Harvest! Zou Wenhuai, one of the founders of Golden Harvest, was originally a senior executive at Shaw Brothers. Dissatisfied with Shaw Brothers' salary issues, he and Ho Koon-chang set up their own company. It has been quite a while since then, and the films produced by the company are as strong as those of Shaw Brothers.
From the initial difficulties in starting a business to becoming an industry giant today, Golden Harvest has gone through countless ups and downs, and now enjoys a very high reputation and influence in the industry.
In addition, Zou Wenhuai is a generous person and good at discovering and cultivating talents. He also signed Cheng Long this year.
Zou Wenhuai would surely be very interested in a director as talented as Director Zhang.
"Golden Harvest has a bright future and strength. Hong Kong is also a place where Director Zhang can showcase his talents." Jiang Zhiqiang spoke enthusiastically about Golden Harvest to Zhang Qiurui, seeming to speak from the heart.
"I want to take a few classmates to study in Hong Kong together. Is it possible?" Zhang Qiurui has been persuaded by Jiang Zhiqiang.
The Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s was a period of rapid development for the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Many famous artists rose to prominence during this period and became popular across the country.
Today, Hong Kong is in an era of rapid development and is full of infinite possibilities and opportunities.
Zhang Qiurui also wanted to see the birthplaces of those brilliant stars and experience the atmosphere of that golden age.
"It's not a big problem."
"Then let's leave a contact number. After confirming, I will contact you, Mr. Jiang."
"Okay! No problem."
